Free Weekend

September 7th, 2007 at 03:20 pm

Tonight the city is offering free movie in the park. Cool! We'll go with the kids tonight. I am not sure if we'll stay for much of the movie, but we'll check it out. They said the festivities start at 6 and since it doesn't get dark until 8 or later, well I doubt we'll stay for a whole movie. But we'll check it out.

Which reminds me next week we get a free band and fireworks. We went last year and was really fun. I am not sure if we will go though. Maybe one of us will take BM. LM just does not like fireworks. Who could blame him? LOL. I find them scary sometimes as an adult. Oh he certainly got my scaredy cat genes.

This weekend there is an extended family reunion thingy about a 1/2 hour north of us. My dad's family is all from Kansas but his aunt moved out to Sacramento eons ago. Must have been in the 40s or 50s or something. My dad's father had like 20 brothers and sisters and of course my dad's aunt had like 10 kids. So we have a LOT of family here. (Another aunt moved to DC and never had any kids. Talk about extremes - hehe).

Anyway, the family is so large I don't know the half of them, but every once in a while we get together with a few of my dads' cousins. Very nice people. IT always amazes me how family is so "family." I never knew much of my extended family but whenever we get together it feels like sometimes we have just known each other forever. So this weekend we are going to that. In the past they had a potluck or went camping. But this time it is just a day thing and it is catered so everyone can relax. Going to some lake with hiking trails and paddle boats and fishing and everything. I think the kids will have a blast and if it is as close as my dad says, well, we'll definitely have to check out the hiking trails. We really want to hit a lot more trails next year as LM gets more steady on his feet. There is just so much around. & this is one more place I never heard of...

But yeah, last time we went to one of these BM was just a baby. This time maybe he will form some friendships with some of his "cousins ten times removed." Lord knows what they are really called, but it feels something like that. LOL.
